That was my first bobbin lace book! I bought it out of curiosity when I was
a teenager and I tried making my first pieces using crochet cotton and
horseshoe nails as bobbins when I was about 15. My makeshift equipment was
rather frustrating and the lace bug didn't bite until many years later, when
Hi Devon -
I have often seen this book on eBay and have never been
attracted to it. I've also been aware of the beginner kit
marketed by the Kliot's company for many years. As a
relatively "beginner" lacemaker (5 years...) I didn't
understand the importance of the Kliots' contribution, but

Bobbin Lace, Form by the Twisting of Cords, published in 1973 was the first
English language bobbin lace book I bought and I loved it at the time. I think
the reason that it sells very cheaply now is that it has been superceded by
other books. It attempted to cover the entire subject of bobbin l
Thank you all for the information about the size of the logarithmic lace. I
have now the right size.
It was published in Lace Magazine in 2000.

Hi everyone, and thankyou Jeri for the link.
I was especially interested in the machine-made lace trim,
do-it-yourself with the serger. I don't own a serger and it seems this
project will take a great quantity of thread - it is a clever way to
make lace trim quickly, and in colours of one's choice
I wondered is there some ordinary everyday variety of glue
stuff that anyone can recommend?
Michelle: Just in case you were wondering, PVA glue is that standard
white glue that you can get just about anywhere. It usually dries
clear, and the pure PVA glue is pH neutral so won't damage your fibre.
Thanks for the opinions on the Kliot book. As I'm not into "this modern
stuff" ie unstructured, or made with anything other than a smooth cotton or
linen thread, I'll give it a miss.

Michelle,
If I get them all done and have time I
will thread the ends in, but alternatively I am thinking of cutting them off
very close and dabbing with a spot of a clear-drying glue. I know years ago
there was mention of a product called Fraycheck? that people used for this

There's an old lace pillow of the Dutch/Belgian type on ebay that's been
restuffed. It has a drawer at
the back, and the description says it's for doing long lengths of lace,
presumable instead of a wooden lace roller. I always thought that the drawer
was for keeping spare bobbins, tools, etc, alth
I too saw these chocolate bobbins, and yes they were yummy!
